Our US Equity Options business has become one of the leading liquidity-providers in the marketplace. We’ve already created partnerships and business models to facilitate our expansion and we continue to improve our options pricing, particularly in the volatility space.

Your Core Responsibilities:
- Maximize revenue by both finding, and then capitalizing on short term mispricing, as well as managing larger positions
- Work closely with our best-in-class research and quant teams to analyze your results and improve your approach
- Take lots of responsibility and ownership early to drive strategies forward and be successful
Your Skills and Experience:
- Experienced equity options trader with at least 2 years’ experience
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a healthy risk appetite, are competitive by nature, and are a fast decision maker
- Ability to identify patterns and describe them analytically. Preference for relevant tertiary qualifications (graduate or post graduate), with strong academic results
- Passionate about understanding volatility dynamics and willing to immediately act on your opinions to capture market opportunities.
- In tune with the fundamental drivers of stocks we trade and can work effectively with a research analyst team to make decisions
